Congratulations Justin. It must be quite a thrill to see your book on the Hot New Releases page! I hope it stays there for a while! You have earned it.
I ordered this little gem on Friday and it arrived on Monday! It's a beauty. Justin you are a natural -born wordsmith, spinning tiny tales of love and mystery, of family and fantasy and adventure. Each one is a tiny, sparkling jewel. This paperback is small enough to slip into the back pocket of your jeans! What a lovely little holiday gift it would make!
I’m thrilled that the book arrived so quickly for you! That’s amazing! You are so kind, Sharron, and always so generous with your time and your words. Thank you doesn’t even begin to cut it, but truthfully, I’m at a loss for words.
Man, take all the time to celebrate that you need. You worked super hard on this! You deserve to celebrate, brag, and love on yourself. I hope the kids throw you a pizza party!
That is so wonderful! You've certainly earned it as your writing is very captivating and insight - filled. It's refreshing to see good work supported. Best of luck to you regarding getting it out there.
Congrats, Justin. I got my copy the other day (ebook btw). Definitely go to some places with your book. They'll love to have a local author. I had planned on doing it with some of my books this year, but my father-in-law's death derailed that. Nothing better happen in 2024 so I can finally get down to the one little gift/book shop.
Thank you so much, Patricia! I appreciate the support more than you know. I hope you enjoy it.
That’s wonderful advice, thank you! I have a few locations in mind. What do you think...show up in person, books in hand, or send an email prior to that? I might try both - shaking in my boots either way! 🤣
Congratulations, Justin. It is a great feeling to hold a book with your own name on it! I wish you much success with it. I put it on my Amazon Christmas wish list. 🤓
Same here, my friend. Couldn’t be happier with how Substack panned out. It really has become a wonderful place to read, write, and share fiction. Thanks again. 🙏
Justin, it has always been my greatest honor to have the chance to read your work, and to offer you some of my thoughts on what you've written. I have seen you grow into an accomplished writer, and now an author!!! You should shout from the rooftops about your book!!! You worked hard on it, it came out perfect, and I am eagerly awaiting my copy which is due to arrive today!!! Heartfelt congratulations!!
Aww, thank you so much, Andrea. I don’t think you’ll ever truly know how impactful you’ve been. I will always cherish our time teaching together! I can’t wait for you to see 50 Fifties.
By the way, my book just appeared on Goodreads! (I believe the information is relayed from Amazon.) I sent in an application to claim it as my book. 😊
And I get the 'bug everyone until they are sick of you' feeling, I've been shouting from every real and online rooftop about my two short stories being published next spring.
Wow, amazing!! Thanks so much for the support, Kim! I hope you enjoy the book. 😊
And that’s wonderful news!! Congratulations on your upcoming publications! I’m reaching the point where I don’t care as much as I used to. We should be allowed celebrate our hard work and accomplishments without feeling guilty!
Shout away, my friend. You should be very proud! Remind us when those dates approach. I’d love to read the stories.
Congratulations!!!🎉🥳 The feeling of finishing a project is beyond satisfying. Best of luck on the sales!!
Thank you, Rene! Ahh, it really is, isn’t it?! I appreciate the warm wishes. 😊

I’m overwhelmed with the amount of support I’ve received. I guess it boils down to the fact that I’ve met/I know some absolutely tremendous people.

I have no idea the best way to do it. My plan was to just show up with my books and ask.
2024: let’s both make it happen! I hope you have an easier year ahead that allows you to pursue this. I’m sorry to hear about your loss. 🙏
If I have any success I’ll let you know the route I took. 😀
Shhh! Don't say anything or else 2024 will hear and throw a temper tantrum.
Thanks.
Yes, keep us all in the loop. =)
Haha! Will do. 😊

Thank you so much, Mark! That’s very kind of you. I hope Santa delivers! 😄 It’s a fun ride we’ve been on since our Medium days!
Yeah. Medium was my learning ground (and provided me with a huge stockpile of stories.) Substack is fun. And home, now.
Same here, my friend. Couldn’t be happier with how Substack panned out. It really has become a wonderful place to read, write, and share fiction. Thanks again. 🙏
